"Keyhole" arthroscopic surgery should rarely be used to repair arthritic knee joints, a panel of international experts says in new clinical guidelines. Clinical trials have shown that keyhole surgery ...

Researchers have improved the training methods for surgeons who perform keyhole operations. At present, a relatively large number of errors are made during surgery of this kind. Researcher Sanne ...

Differentiating between the laparoscopy and open surgery, Dr Pamina said that only small cuts are needed in laparoscopy as the surgeon performs the operation through a camera and not through the naked ...

A robot has successfully performed "keyhole" intestinal surgery on pigs without any aid from humans, according to a study from John Hopkins University (published in Science Robotics). What's more, the ...

A robot has successfully carried out keyhole surgery on the bowels of pigs mostly autonomously for the first time, which researchers say is a significant step towards human trials. Small parts of ...

Keyhole surgery for heart valve repair may trump robotic surgery, because it is associated with lower rates of subsequent heart flutter and blood transfusions, and a shorter hospital stay, reveals ...

The use of keyhole surgery to repair ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm is both clinically and cost effective and should be adopted more widely, concludes a randomised trial published by The BMJ today ...

A decade-long study comparing conventional colon cancer surgery with “keyhole” surgery found identical success rates, disproving fears that tumors would be more likely to return if surgeons did not ...

Those who had tumors removed from their livers with keyhole surgery had fewer complications, a better quality of life and similar long-term oncologic outcomes, a new PhD thesis shows. In many patients ...
